Viper Fate Fixed Blade Knife Black Aspis Blade/Green Micarta

The Viper Knives Fate Fixed Blade is built with a straightforward purpose: deliver reliable performance in a compact, hard-use field knife. Designed in Italy and crafted with Viper’s well-earned reputation for precision, the Fate balances clean lines with rugged capability. It’s the kind of knife that feels deliberate in hand, ready for real work without unnecessary excess.

The black-finished D2 tool steel blade is shaped in a practical clip point profile that offers strong tip control and efficient slicing ability. D2 brings excellent wear resistance and edge retention, making it well suited for utility, camp tasks, and daily cutting where toughness matters. The finish reduces glare and adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance, giving the blade a purpose-driven look that matches its performance.

Green Micarta handle scales provide a secure, confident grip in a wide range of conditions. Micarta’s natural texture improves traction when hands are wet or dirty, while its durability ensures it’ll hold up to long-term use. The handle ergonomics are neutral and comfortable, allowing for extended cutting without hotspots. Everything about the grip feels practical, balanced, and ready for sustained work.

Carry and storage are handled by a durable Cordura sheath designed for dependable retention and easy access. It’s lightweight, flexible, and well suited for belt carry or pack mounting, making the Fate easy to integrate into your everyday or outdoor setup. This is a fixed blade meant to be carried, not left behind.

The Viper Fate reflects European craftsmanship paired with modern materials, offering a compact fixed blade that punches above its size. It’s a solid choice for users who want dependable cutting performance without unnecessary bulk.
